Attention ocean lovers and underwater adventurers – Here’s one for the bucket list.
Now picture yourself, wind flowing through your hair, coasting across the turquoise coloured ocean. As you look in towards the shoreline you see the breathtaking backdrop of bright green volcano hills behind the little sea-side towns of Honolulu.
The boat starts to slow down a few hundred meters from shore and floats above a huge underwater crater…….you’re here. You feel a little flutter of excitement in your belly knowing you’ll soon be cruising down underwater on a chic canary yellow scooter.
You jump from the boat into the warm Hawaiian water, wiggle your head into your glass, air filled helmet and get yourself comfortable on the little scooter seat.
You close your fingers around the throttle of your right handle bar and start gliding down below the surface of the water, into the crater filled with hundreds of beautiful coloured fish, all fighting for the crumbs of bread in the little mesh bag attached to the front of the scooter.
After a minute or two, you slowly take your fingers off the throttle and you sit there, breathing underwater on your little yellow scooter and you just look around, staring at all the silent beauty swimming around you.
Now it’s time to start planning your underwater scooter adventure and be ready for when the lockdowns to be lifted and we can travel again.
If you want to do what I did, when I planned my trip, book online with Island Water Sports before you get to Hawaii this will guarantee you get a spot on the day you want.
You don’t have to though, there are so many little tour booking kiosks in Waikiki. Be a little aware of some of the vendors on the main street though. If I’m booking tours in town, I always go back to the same beautiful lady, Lee, from this little place up Seaside Ave.
I did the underwater scooter tour on my second time to Hawaii – I’m so in love with the island life, I’ve been there three times in the past four years. While we’re all at home dreaming of where we’ll go when the travel bans are lifted, come on a virtual adventure through my travel stories. You never know, it might just be the inspiration you’ve been looking for.
